Devils waive Janssen, likely indicating his return to Albany

The New Jersey Devils have placed forward Cam Janssen on waivers, a prelude to his likely return to Albany.

New Jersey also has reassigned goaltender Keith Kinkaid to Albany but still must make two additional roster moves to get to the 23-player limit before 3 p.m. Monday.

If Janssen, who played 36 games for the A-Devils last season, goes unclaimed by noon Monday, he can be assigned to Albany as the NHL Devils try to reach the roster limit.

Janssen is one of four New Jersey plays on a two-way contract, which means his NHL and AHL salaries are for different amounts. The others on two-way contracts, according to the Bergen Record’s Fire & Ice blog, are forward Stephen Gionta and defensemen Alexander Urbom and Adam Larsson.
